A police officer claims that the proportion of accidents that occur in the daytime (versus nighttime) at a certain intersection

is 35%. To test this claim, a random sample of 500 accidents at this intersection was examined from police records it is determined that 156 accidents occurred in the daytime. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test: {H0:p=0.35Ha:p≠0.35 Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test for a proportion. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer: -1.78

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given description, we have

Population proportion : p=0.35

Sample size : n= 500

Sample proportion : \hat{p}=\dfrac{156}{500}=0.312

Test statistic for population proportion :-

z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{0.312-0.35}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.35(1-0.35)}{500}}}\\\\=-1.78146747757\ \ \text{(Simplified)}\\\\\approx-1.78

Hence, the test statistic for this hypothesis test for a proportion= -1.78

A cell tower is located 3 miles east and 4 miles north of the center of a small town. The cell tower has a coverage radius of 3
butalik [34]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A cell tower is located 3 miles east and 4 miles north of the center of a small town. The cell tower has a coverage radius of 3 miles.

a) Start by drawing a diagram of this situation. Your diagram might include a coordinate plane, the cell tower, and a circle representing the cell tower's coverage boundary.

a) A house is located 5 miles north of the center of the town and is to the east of the cell tower. If the house lies on the boundary of the cell tower's coverage, how far east of the center of the town is the house?

Answer:

Let the center of the town represent the origin (0,0). Also 1 unit = 1 mile. Since the cell tower is located 3 miles east and 4 miles north of the center of a small town, it is represented by A(3, 4)

The cell tower has a coverage of radius 3 miles. This can be represented by a circle with equation:

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r². where (a,b) is the center of the circle and r is the radius. Hence:

(x - 3)² + (y - 4)² = 3²

(x - 3)² + (y - 4)² = 9

The diagram is drawn using geogebra.

b) The house is 5 miles north. It can be represented by y = 5 line.

To find the distance east of the house we have to substitute y = 5 and solve for x, hence:

(x - 3)² + (y - 4)² = 9

(x - 3)² + (5 - 4)² = 9

(x - 3)² + 1 = 9

(x - 3)² = 8

(x - 3) = √8

x - 3 = ±2.83

x = 3 ± 2.83

x = 5.83 or 1.83

Since it is to the east to the cell tower, hence x = 5.83.

Therefore the house is located 5.83 miles to the east of the cell tower

Divide the APR by 360 days and multiply it by 30 days to get the monthly interest. Each loan is usually secured by the car you bought. So we will use the secured APR.

8. Average rating secured apr: 5.85% divide by 360 multiply by 30:  0.4875% monthly rate
Cost of car: 19,725 ; sales tax: 4.75% ; down payment: 2,175

19,725 x 1.0475 =  20,661.94 - 2,175 = 18,486.94 loan amount
18,486.94 x 0.4875% = 90.12 accrued interest for the 1st month.

9. Excellent rating secured apr: 4.80% divide by 360 multiply by 30: 0.40% monthly rate
Cost of car: 15,867 ; sales tax: 5.25% ; down payment: 10% of total cost

15,867 x 1.0525 =  16,700.02 x 90% = 15,030.02 the principal balance at the start of the loan.

10. Fair rating secured apr: 7% divide by 360 multiply by 30: 0.5833% monthly rate
Cost of new car: 19,072 ; sales tax: 4.5% ; down payment: 1,200
Cost of used car: 15,365; sales tax: 4.5% ; down payment: 1,200

19,072 x 1.045 = 19,930.24 - 1,200 = 18,730.24
18,730.24 x 0.5833% = 109.25 accrued interest

15,365 x 1.045 = 16,056.43 - 1,200 = 14,856.43
14,856.43 x 0.5833% = 86.66 accrued interest

109.25 - 86.66 = 22.59 is the difference in interest accrued by the end of the first month.

One factor of the polynomial x^3 − 7x^2 + 13x − 3 is (x − 3). What is the other factor of the polynomial? (Note: Use long or syn
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial in the question is,

x³ - 7x² + 13x - 3

One factor of the polynomial is (x - 3).

That means x = 3 is a zero factor of the polynomial.

For the other factor,

By using synthetic division,

3 |   1         -7           13           -3

 

   <u>               3           -12          3   </u>

     1          -4            1            0

= (x² - 4x + 1)(x - 3)

Therefore, the other factor of the polynomial is (x² - 4x + 1).

Option (B) will be the answer.

8 times of the eight term of an arithmetic progression is equal to 12 times of the twelfth term. find its first term if the comm
denpristay [2]

Answer:

38

Step-by-step explanation:

We can express the 8th term as x and the 12th term as y.

This would mean that 8x=12y

Because the common difference between terms is -2 and term 8 and term 12 are 4 terms apart, this means that the 12th term is 8 less than the 8th term, so x-8=y

Now we can use this to substitute y with x in the first equation. This would give us:

8x=12(x-8)

Which we can expand and solve:

8x=12x-96

-4x=-96

Therefore x=24

This means the 8th term is 24 and the 12th term is 16 (24-8).

To test if this is correct we can do:

8x24=12x16

Which indeed are equal, both sides multiply to 192.

Now that we have our 8th term, we can find the 1st term, which is 7 terms away, therefore we just add 14 to the 8th term 24. (7x2=14)

24+14=38.

The first term is 38.

Hope this helped!
